Chapter 304 The all-powerful Team Rocket trio arrives at Ultron Research Lab.
The shackles they used to restrain Ash and the others were specially made. Don't be fooled by their seemingly stubborn appearance; they had actually meticulously planned this scheme to steal Pikachu.
Their small intelligence was boundless, and it was no secret that they possessed special abilities. Therefore, they worked hard during the Quartz Conference and eventually created a special set of shackles.
Once these shackles are on, they will render the bound person powerless. No matter how strong a monster you are, you will eventually become a limp, lifeless being.
As for Xiaoxia and Xiaogang, there's no need to prepare such a grand gift for them. After all, those two aren't particularly outstanding in terms of physical abilities. As long as they can take down Xiaozhi, capturing Pikachu will be a piece of cake!
To achieve this, they spent all the wages of the three of them working that month to finally make that thing. Miaomiao even tested it out, and basically, if you were bound, you would be lucky to be able to exert even five percent of your strength.
With such a perfect plan, they wouldn't know how to lose!
Then they were sanctioned.
Ash's power far exceeded their imagination; even with a large amount of his power restricted, breaking free of those shackles was an easy task.
But what they didn't know was that not only was Ash's strength beyond their imagination, but they also overestimated the binding power of those shackles.
For an average person, that thing might actually be able to bind 95% of the bound person's power, but for Ash—it's basically useless.
Do you really think a divine-level physique is a joke?
The only way for humans to use technology to counter the divine-level Pokémon is to obtain their medium. Unfortunately, Ash doesn't have anything he can drop that can be called a medium.
In other words, Ash has no weaknesses among the legendary Pokémon! In a sense, this makes him even stronger than legendary Pokémon.
As Ash broke free of his shackles and walked step by step toward Team Rocket, the trio instantly huddled together in a tense standoff: "What are you doing! Don't come any closer! We're going to yell!"
"It's—it's meow! Don't come any closer, meow!"
Xiao Zhi: ————
The way you're acting makes me look like the villain. Who's really the one who set this trap?
"Who's piloting this airship right now? How did you manage to prevent the crew, and even other people, from boarding this airship?" This was also a question that puzzled Xiaozhi greatly. How did these three manage to be so incredibly powerful?
"As long as we build a machine that can advance all the watches in the vicinity by twenty minutes, they will leave on the airship that is already waiting there, meow. We bought this airship ourselves, meow, so we can wait here in advance, meow. We are currently piloting this airship ourselves, meow." Meow was so frightened by the oppressive aura emanating from Ash that it blurted out everything.
Ash and the others were speechless at Meowth's words. It sounded simple, but wasn't it actually even more mysterious? How did you three manage to do something that even an evil organization would find difficult to do with just three people?!
Just as Xiaozhi said, if the three of them had been good people, they could have helped countless people. It's a pity that they used their brilliant minds to do bad things.
Ash retrieved Pikachu expressionlessly, and even broke off the mechanical arm with his bare hands, which was covered in insulated gloves. The three of them trembled even more violently. This guy really is a monster!
Ash then approached Brock and Misty, easily breaking their shackles. He then turned and asked, "Why is the destination still the Orange Islands? Shouldn't you have just taken us to Team Rocket headquarters in your airship?"
This is also why Ash didn't expose Team Rocket at first. He thought that with the help of Team Rocket, he could go directly to Team Rocket's lair and strike at their heart.
As a result, these three guys couldn't hold their tempers and attacked them directly. If it were just an attack, Xiao Zhi would have held back for a while and waited until they reached their destination before suddenly attacking and taking down the trio.
However, his waveguide power sensed that there was no one else on the entire airship except for the three of them, which meant that no one was piloting the airship!
This is why Xiaozhi simply stopped acting.
Unexpectedly, technology has become so advanced that it can fly to its destination even without a pilot. So why did these three people set the Orange Islands as their destination?
Shouldn't we take him to the Rockets' headquarters to find Giovanni?
The three looked at each other, their faces showing a mixture of confusion and pain: "We haven't seen Boss Sakaki for a long time."
"There's a Team Rocket base in the Orange Islands, where Apollo is stationed. But recently he seems to have been attacked by a powerful enemy. We were thinking of capturing Pikachu to cheer him up—Meow."
When it comes to capturing Pikachu, both Ash and Pikachu glared angrily at Meowth. The main reason is that this guy made it sound so natural to steal other people's Pokémon, and even offered the stolen Pokémon to others for his own amusement. Whether as the person involved or given his personality, this is unforgivable.
"You bunch of guys, if you want to help the organization, then work harder to become stronger! Instead of spending your days figuring out how to steal my Pikachu, why don't you think about how to use your brains to help your organization!"
"Aren't you supposed to be very capable in research? Why do you always resort to unorthodox methods? Can't you just take a practical approach?!"
Faced with Ash's loud reprimand, the trio's confusion vanished: "The kid's right, saving Team Rocket depends on ourselves, not others!"
"Exactly! So what if we can catch that brat's Pikachu? Giovanni has disappeared. Now we have to rely on ourselves to revive Team Rocket! As the backbone of Team Rocket, how can we bow down to other villainous organizations!"
"That's right, meow! As long as we make Team Rocket stronger again, Boss Giovanni will come back, meow!"
The three of them started planning their grand ambitions and ambitious schemes, and Ash nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, that's more like it—but you should go and stay with Officer Jenny for a while first. I'll take you there after we get off the airship."
Ash suddenly changed his tone. He had just been encouraging Team Rocket, but the next second he said he would send the three members of Team Rocket to jail.
This left the Rockets trio completely dumbfounded. What happened? Kid, weren't you just encouraging us? This change of heart is too fast!
"Encouraging you is one thing, but you made a mistake, and you have to pay the price for it. Also—" Ash crouched down, approaching the Team Rocket trio, his expression more serious than ever before.
"I encourage you because I acknowledge your abilities, but I will never forgive what you've done. If you come back again, I won't show you any mercy!"
Ash's voice gradually turned cold. He hadn't forgotten how many times the other party had attacked Pikachu. If he weren't that strong, Pikachu would have been taken by Team Rocket long ago. What would have happened then?
The fact that everything seems to be going well now is simply because he is so strong that the Rockets have been driven back every time they come.
The mistakes they made and the evil deeds they committed cannot be changed, and they cannot be forgiven simply because the outcome was good.
"It's just that we're all old acquaintances." Seeing their bewildered expressions and the look of their "home" being destroyed, Xiao Zhi felt a pang of sympathy and offered words of comfort. That's all.
Then, Ash casually took out a rope from his backpack. Under Gardevoir's restraints, the two humans and the cat were tied up without any resistance. It would be a miracle if they could resist Gardevoir's psychic powers.
Next, all you need to do is wait for the airship to proceed normally to Daikan Island in the Orange Islands, then find Officer Jenny and hand them over to her.
As for why the spaceship's location is Daikan Island, could it be that Team Rocket's temporary base is on Daikan Island?
Of course not. Even if these three were incredibly stupid, they wouldn't just drive their airship straight to their base. They would land the airship on Daikan Island and then walk Pikachu to the base.
As for Ash and his friends—they were naturally placed inside the airship, and they wouldn't dare to loosen Ash's shackles once rescuers arrived.
However, this was just wishful thinking. In reality, they were subdued by Ash before the airship even landed, and were even sent to Officer Jenny.
Without Giovanni's help, it won't be easy for them to get out of prison if they go in. Unless Apollo, the current interim leader of Team Rocket, lends them a hand, they will have to rely on themselves to escape.
Judging from the crimes committed by the Rockets trio, they don't actually need to stay in jail for long. Although their intentions were bad, they ultimately didn't accomplish anything truly evil, which is important in the sentencing.
In addition, since Giovanni had already used his connections and bribes to erase their previous crimes, they only had to bear the current charges when they were sent to Officer Jenny.
At most, they'd be locked up for a month, which would be a significant lesson for them.
Half an hour later, the airship landed, and Ash and his friends escorted Team Rocket out, attracting the attention of many people around the airport. After all, it was quite rare to see two people and a Pokémon being tied up and taken away.
However, everyone's attention quickly shifted from Team Rocket to Ash.
"Isn't that... the champion of this year's Quartz Convention?"
"It really is Ash! It really is Ash! I actually saw him in person!"
"Is Ash here on vacation in the Orange Islands too? It really lives up to its reputation as a tourist hotspot!"
"I'm going to get an autograph!!"
"Wait for me, I want one too, and I want to take a picture while I'm at it!!"
""
When Ash was recognized, the entire airport erupted in chaos. As Ash watched the surging crowd, his dormant memories were awakened; it was just like this when he first became famous.
However, his fame gradually faded, and people became more indifferent to him. But after winning the Quartz Conference, he reappeared in the public eye and became a celebrity once again.
Now there are even more die-hard fans!
"Gardedor, teleport us to the police station!"
Gardevoir is still inside her Poké Ball, but with her current strength, she can easily use Teleport through the Poké Ball.
Almost instantly, Gardevoir used its psychic powers to locate the nearby police station and then used Teleportation to send everyone away.
The fans who flocked to the event were left disappointed, and many felt incredibly regretful. They wished they had taken some photos first, as rushing up for autographs had scared Xiao Zhi away!
When will I be able to meet Ash again?
Meanwhile, at the entrance of the police station, Ash and his friends appeared, startling Officer Jenny, who was on duty at the entrance. Anyone would be frightened if several figures suddenly appeared in front of them!
As Officer Jenny calmed down and looked at the figures before her, Ash had already handed her the rope binding the Team Rocket trio: "Officer Jenny, these three are from Team Rocket. They tried to steal my Pokémon, and they impersonated crew members of the flying ship, using a private flying ship to impersonate a public one—you decide on these charges. We're leaving now!"
After Xiaozhi finished speaking, the three figures disappeared again, just as they had vanished without warning when they came, and disappeared suddenly when they left.
Officer Jenny, who had been "entrusted" to the Rockets trio, was still completely bewildered. What the heck?!
What punishment Team Rocket will receive depends on Officer Jenny's decision. In any case, aside from the crime of stealing Pikachu, Officer Jenny should be able to investigate the other crimes. Ash and his friends have now appeared at the entrance of Professor Ulrich's lab on Daikan Island.
Professor Wood's lab looked about the same size as Professor Wood's. Ash walked up and knocked on the door, only to find it was open. Inside, three children who looked even younger than Ash and his friends were running around busily.
"Um—hello, we're looking for Dr. Uchiki. Is she at the research institute?"
Ash's voice made the three little girls turn their heads in unison towards him, and then they said one after another, "Professor Negi, she—"
"In the bay in the backyard—"
"Taking care of the elves."
"Let us take you there! *3"
